Scope
NOTICE OF INTENT TO SOLE SOURCE The Defense Information Systems Agency/Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization intends to negotiate a sole source contract with Peraton, Inc.
A sole source Justification & Approval document is being coordinated and, upon approval, a copy of it will be posted here on SAM.gov to comply with the public display requirements of FAR 6.301.
The proposed contract action will continue providing support to facilitate the completion of the 3.45 GHz Engineering Support for Enduring Coordination (3-ESEC) for the 3450 – 3550 MHz band effort.
BACKGROUND: In 2020, the White House and Department of Defense (DoD) established the America’s Mid-Band Initiative Team (AMBIT) to make 100 MHz of contiguous mid-band spectrum available for commercial 5G.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) subsequently authorized flexible-use licenses in the 3450–3550 MHz band (3.45 GHz band) and conducted Auction 110 in October 2021, offering 4,060 licenses nationwide.
The band includes Cooperative Planning Areas (CPAs), which require coordination with DoD systems, and Periodic Use Areas (PUAs), where commercial access may be restricted during DoD operations.
To support spectrum sharing, Portfolio Acquisition Executive (PAE) Command, Control, Communications, and Engineering (C3E) developed the 3.45 GHz Transition Plan, including an interim coordination portal and a future dynamic coordination system.
In January 2022, Peraton was awarded the AMBIT Engineering Support for Initial Coordination (AESIC) task order to provide engineering analysis and manage coordination requests between DoD and commercial licensees.
In April 2025, a follow-on 3.45 GHz Engineering Support for Enduring Coordination (3-ESEC) task order was awarded to Peraton and ends in May 2027.

How to bid on this
This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.
- Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
- Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
- Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
- Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
